Hello there, @NataG.
Yes, you're right. Once you use the E-file service in submitting your 1099-MISC, you'll no longer need to submit a second 1096 to the IRS.
Since you already submitted your 1099s to the IRS, you can go back to your account to check their status. Follow the steps in this Tax 1099 article: How can I check the submission status of my tax forms?
If you need help with other tasks in QBDT, you can browse for specific topics here and look for responses that fit your concern.
Please feel free to reach back out if there's anything else you need help with concerning 1099 or any other QuickBooks related. I'm always here to help. Have a great day!
